I should have included that dsn is a maximum of 8 characters. It is a second
level node name.
SAVE command
z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol II
SC19-3628-00
The SAVE primary command writes the data set list to the ISPF list data set or
to a sequential data set. ISPF writes the data set list in its current sort
order. If the Display Catalog Name option is selected and Volume Serial was not
entered, the catalog name associated with each data set is included in the Data
Set List written to the sequential file. Use this format:
>>-SAVE--+---------+-------------------------------------------><
'-list-id-'
where list-id is an optional user-specified qualifier of the data set to which
the member list will be written. ISPF names the data set:
prefix.userid.list-id.DATASETS
where:
prefix
Your data set prefix, as specified in your TSO user profile. If you have no
prefix set, or if your prefix is the same as your user ID, the prefix is
omitted and the data set name will be: userid.list-id.DATASETS.
userid
Your TSO user ID.
The data set is created if it does not exist, or written over if it exists, and
has compatible attributes. If you omit the list-id operand, the list is written
to the ISPF list data set and includes the list and column headings and this
data set information:
Data set name
Volume
Org
Recfm
Lrecl
Blksz
Trks
%Used
XT
Created
Catalog Name (depending on the setting of the Display Catalog Name option)
If you enter SAVE without a list-id and the Display Total Tracks option is
selected, an additional header line with the accumulated tracks of all data
sets and the number of all data sets in the list is written above the column
headings. If you provide the list-id operand, the list does not include the
column headings and contains all the data set information of the list without
the listid provided, plus this information:
Device
Expires
Referred
This command would tell ISPF to write the list to a sequential data set named
either prefix.userid.MY.DATASETS or userid.MY.DATASETS.
SAVE MY
If the sequential data set already exists, ISPF writes over it; if not, ISPF
creates it.
ISPF displays a progress status pop-up panel when the necessary information to
perform a SAVE or SORT primary command has to be retrieved and the data set
list comprises 50 or more data sets. The keyboard locks when this pop-up panel
appears and stays locked until the SAVE or SORT command is completed. This
happens regardless of the setting of Display Total Tracks option and the value
entered in the Initial View field.
Note: When Display Total Tracks is ON and Initial View = 2 (Space) or 4
(Total), the pop-up panel appears during the data set list display when it
comprises 50 or more data sets and all the track information is to be
retrieved. When the SAVE command is subsequently issued the pop-up is not
displayed as the data is already available.
